Wishful Thinking

Where were you when she was lying on the ground dragging each last breath from her own frail lungs desperate for someone to hold her hands?

Where were you when she wanted someone to tell her it's gonna be alright? that she doesn't have to depart this world alone?

Are you apologizing to her everyday until the memory of her face stops to interrupt your slumber and the sound of her laughter ceases to visit your brain?

Are you forever distraught at the possibility of having been there to brush her hair off of her cheeks? or because you wanted to make the last moment she spent on earth belong to the two of you and only you two?
